I'm not sure if "xcreate" is a typo, or you mean something other than create a new file. In case of the latter, I like to move to the working directory and:

Code:
rar a ./archivename


creates
Code:
archivename.rar
and adds all files in current directory.

You can get fancy with switches to recurse subdirectories and any number of other things.
